Serial Command Set

The HDR 203HD has a limited command set. The commands are simple, 4 character
“words”. There are no arguments.

Setting Up the Serial Port

The serial port on the HDR 203HD can be set up to echo the characters as they are
entered and provide limited feedback. Alternatively, it can be set up for no echo and no
response. These two settings are as follows:

V1

Echoes commands and provides feedback

V0

No echo and no feedback

Simply type the desired set up command and execute with a carriage return . With
the “

V1

” setting, commands beginning with a “W” followed by any other characters will

generate a “Ready” response. Commands entered starting with any other character will
generate an “Error!” response.
